This isn't a good idea as you will aerate the fluid with microscopic bubbles, which will eventually form into lager air bubbles and you'll have a spongy break, and have to do it all over again.


Push the pistons right back into the caliper, fill the master cylinder reservoir, open the rear bleed nipple wait for the fluid to drain out, close it, open front, repeat as for the rear, all the time keeping the reservoir topped.  Sometimes you have to pump the peddle a few times, do it slowly.  Now bleed as normal from the back nipple, job done.


The rears are normally very easy to bleed.

"simple as that" - as he says.Looked convincing but not with a small syringe that adds air each time.

Just an update. I will be posting some pictures but as yet have not started the refurb. I need to do some jobs around Sharp Hall that have been put off because I was busy with work but because of lockdown I now have no excuse. So once I have done enough jobs to gain enough Fazer points I can start on the bike. Big Grin

I panicked brought all I needed to do the job as I thought that I would end up not being able to get hold of things I needed due to extra lockdown.
By the time I get around to doing it lockdown will be lifted. Running out of jobs around sharp hall so I wii be able to borrow mrs sharps trousers and do my brake soon. :lol
